How about Severely under tall for their weight.
Oh and obesity is a disease now? They should have worn a mask then.

You know, the right kind of mask would actually work

I would put it very near the same category as alcoholism, drug addiction and compulsive gambling.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

There was a naked dude in the women's shower at a YMCA. When a teenaged girl reported it, staff told her to get used to it.

I recall being accused of moral panic, a few years ago, when we said this would happen.

That's the Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association, right?

This upside down bizzaro stuff is truly end times, as Dewey Crowe would say.

Officially, it's just The Y, now. No religious aspect at all. Except for that woke one.

Interesting that you never seem to hear of the flip of this.  I have never heard even a story of a vagina owning man being spotted in a men's shower.  Guys must just be more woke than women.

The URL says it all really.  I guess some of them don't feel that natural.

The Santos story keeps reminding me of the odd timing of corporate media's obsession with fake news misinformation. It ramped up after Trump won 2016, and has not really abated since. But that was after they had already spent years insisting Bruce Jenner is a girl.

Of course, they would go on to other feats, like celebrating the "anti-fascism" of fascist antifa, the "anti-racism" of racists like Ibram Kendi, the convenient redefinition of "recession," etc.

Nope, real news, they may over hype some stories from time to time but unlike many other news outlets they are not shy about printing corrections. My main gripe is all the celebrity crap. Politically they will have articles with both left and right wing viewpoints

I've been semi-following this story for the last couple of days. I don't really know anything about this guy. Apparently he's a bit of a showboat, but still, he's actually putting his money where his mouth is and helping people. He's being absolutely thrashed on the social medias for it because he's "doing it the wrong way", "not using the money for the "right" cause", etc.

Babylon Bee nails it:

^^^^^

Using influence for good! YouTuber Mr Beast, 24, pays to cure the sight of 1,000 blind people: Philanthropist gifts patients with Tesla and $50k college tuition after healing their vision - and makes $100k donation to optical surgeries across the world
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11689853/YouTuber-Mr-Beast-24-pays-cure-sight-1-000-blind-people.html

But some have a problem with the way he's doing it and the money he's making doing it that way.

Quote
But some online said the video was 'demonic', showing how sufferers could only receive the surgery by becoming online content for a rich YouTuber instead of getting the necessary treatment from the government.
Quote
'It’s so insanely frustrating that it’s up to one YouTube guy to decide to make content out of it, that people who are too poor just can’t f***ing see.'

Some also claimed MrBeast, who was YouTube's highest-earning creator in 2021, earning an estimated $54million that year alone, was exploiting the sufferers to gain more fame and accrue more wealth for himself.

I also came across this story in my travels, but I have questions about this MrBeast. Was he cursed to live as a beast, until he finds true love? Does he own a talking tea pot? Will he have to fight Gascon?

If he is convicted, I hope it will bolster a lawsuit by the victims against the YMCA for allowing it to happen.
